The qualifications for designation are: student must be a high school senior, under the age of 21; student must be ranked in the top 10% of the senior class; and must have scored at least 1200 on an SAT exam taken on or before January 31st of the student’s senior year (or an equivalent score on ACT).

Each recipient will receive a certificate signed by the Governor and the Commissioner.
